- List of WikiProjects currently on the talk pages of those articles
- Please invite these and any other similar groups to join the discussion about this proposal. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory to find similar WikiProjects.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin music (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Rock music (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
- Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
- Shakira has accumulated a large catalog of hits, though many of their articles are in rough shape. These pages could really benefit from a WikiProject devoted specifically to them, on top of the fact that it would be helpful to receive assistance from editors who are familiar with Shakira and her work.

- WonderBoy1998 (talk · contribs) Definitely yes! Shakira needs a wikiproject and is a really important artist. Hopefully this project will improve the general quality of her articles. I'm definitely into this and I've already started working on some articles.
Discussion
[edit]Discussion
[edit]- NO! God no!
what is wrong with you people?I mean, what? Just because she is Shakira, and yes, she is popular and has a lot of articles related to her, does not mean that deserves a whole WikiProject, WikiProjects are already weak as they are to be creating more and more specific ones, and a whole WikiProject dedicated to one person is ludicrous! Cher doesn't even have one and Cher has a many more articles related to her than there are about Shakira! if you want to work on those projects then create a subgroup within an existing WikiProject and then do it, the whole maintenance of the WikiProject would take time away from working on Shakira-related projects in any case so it would be detrimental. mijotoba (talk) 21:50, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Perhaps you haven't noticed, but the Beyonce, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, etc. WikiProjects have proved pretty successful in promoting several articles to GA. Shakira-related articles aren't looking so good right now (missing information, sloppy, etc.) and could really use some extensive work done to them. WikiRedactor (talk) 22:54, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
